Tybee Island’s weather in February is typically unpredictable, with a wide variation in weather from day to day and from year to year. Cold, cloudy days, or rain, are more than possible, but so are warm and sunny days that will feel like spring.
The average daily high temperature in Tybee Island in February is 63°F (17°C), but due to the winter season’s variability, February highs from day to day can be anywhere from the 40s to the 80s. Mornings are usually coldest, with a possibility of reasonably warm weather by midday and during the afternoon on sunny days.
If you are visiting from the North or from other colder places of the world, it should often be warm enough to walk on the beach in February. Extremely hardy people might even chance a very brief swim on the warmest days!
Boat tours to see Tybee’s dolphins or to nearby Little Tybee Island are usually enjoyable at this time of year on the warmer days, or even an off-season kayak tour. Tybee Island sights such as Fort Pulaski and the Tybee Island Lighthouse and Museum are options for less clement days, and of course there are the many attractions of Savannah, only 30 minutes away by car.
